Earlier this month, a rhesus macaque monkey adopted an adorable puppy in Rode, India. After watching the monkey defend the little dog from strays, the locals were so impressed that they set out food for the two unlikely friends. To everyone’s surprise, the caretaker monkey was so compassionate that it even let the cute puppy eat first!
“People who have seen the two adorable animals spoke of their strong mutual affection and described this animal friendship as the most caring thing in the world — to take care of a puppy in danger and protect him like a parent,” reports Zee News. “The undying affection of these two animal friends gives us a valuable lesson about relationships.”

That's so sweet! But as a concerned pet lover, locals might wanna watch out when the monkey has grapes- grapes are REALLY bad for dogs!
yep sure...they should explain that to the monkey...tss people! ^.-
I don't think there's not much we can do about it but there's nothing wrong with stating a fact. Someone who didn't know may have benefited.
Arty grapes ARE very toxic to a dog. We know the monkey doesnt understand.
Yeah Arty, that's exactly what LittleHedgehog meant. To educate the monkey, not the locals that were the ones supplying food to the animals. Are you clinically slow, if so I am so sorry. If you are just choosing to be stupid, then why? What do you gain from embarrassing yourself on the internet. Check your brain cell with what other options could LittleHedgehog have meant. Hmmm. Let's look at the clues. "The locals were so impressed, they began bringing them food." Gee. Let's see. So there are humans there who are supplying them with food and a photo of grapes with the monkey and puppy. I got it! Talk to the monkey! Smh. You are absolutely dumber than my pet rock. Grapes are dangerous to dogs. Telling the locals to be careful about which foods to offer the monkey and puppy is loving and concerned. Attacking someone for suggesting it, is hateful and you look extremely dumb right now by your ridiculous comment. How do you survive in the world? Smh pure stupidity.
Excellent reply just have to sigh at pet lovers who make comments like that.
Exactly!
They aren’t grapes ..they are called Juman..this is in India
Katherine Otto-thank you! Let’s keep it civil even if we are only humans.🐾🐾
Agree ..Yes I saw that too. They might have been dates ??
Grapes? That’s fresh dates.
Grapes are not fresh dates.... dates are completely different from grapes... smh. If grapes were dates, I would like dates... lol come on now...
and break the monkeys heart?

This is India, where people literally die on the side of the road...so this is a minor miracle, hopefully someone takes in the pup.
NO! That would break the monkeys heart! Just put out some dog food.

I suppose the pictures would have been more compelling to you if the photographer threw in some shots of all them corpses on the side of the road!
My dogs eats grapes and has never had an issue. As a matter of fact, they eat all those no no list foods and have never had an issue.
I didn't know about the grapes and my dog died so I feel sorry for your dog that you know better and are feeding your dog poison.
https://www.certapet.com/can-dogs-eat-grapes/ Read this... they day ur dog dies because ur too uninformed to know what ur dog should and shouldn’t eat is sad and awful, it’s ur responsibility to make sure ur animals eat what they are supposed to, they can’t tell you when food hurts their belly or when they are in kidney failure. You shouldn’t be a pet owner. Period.
Wow, so you literally could not care less than you do, about your dogs. I feel soooooo sad for your dogs - not every danger is visible immediately. But you want to poison your pets, you are a POS and karma will come one day. You are a horrible person and I hope someone reads this and charges you with animal abuse

grapes are not bad for dogs you idiotic dimwit
Actually, you are the idiotic dimwit on this topic. Is it your lack of intellect that causes you to speak this way? By the way, reading is a great hobby. I have a great topic to start with. It has to do with food toxicity in dogs. Take the time. https://www.petmd.com/dog/emergency/digestive/e_dg_grape_raisin_toxicity
are you sure there must have been a reason she said that.
There would be less war and less hunger if we all learned from this monkey
Lutetia Vollentine, do you not know how to use google before you post a comment claiming to know something? Grapes ARE poisonous to dogs and cause them to go into kidney failure. You sound like an idiot claiming to know something and calling someone a name for not knowing when you are the one who is wrong, you are the “idiotic dimwit” lol. Your a sad pathetic person. I bet ur the kind of person who thinks they know everything and doesn’t listen to someone when they state facts, you just keep screaming “no, I’m right, ur wrong.” You need to get a grip. Lol wow people are so damn ignorant.
That monkey 🐒 was going to War for her new BFF. You see her teeth attacking the stray dog. Don’t mistake her kindness for weakness
Not all monkeys have a heart.
All people don't have a heart either. Just sayin"!
Learn to be charitable towards dogs? Hmm, an ape-like mammal that's kind to dogs... now, where have I seen that before...?
There would be less war and less hunger if we all learned compassion for all living beings from this monkey. Is that better?

No there wouldn't
India is one of the worst places to be a stray puppy. There are worst things that could happen to this pup than being adopted by a monkey. Maybe after the monkey moves on, a rescue organization will pick him up, since he's a little celebrity now.
It’s quite the opposite actually, I stayed in South Goa recently, the stray dogs there have their own little patches of the beach and everyone respects them. They come into some of the beach bars and will sleep at your feet and the nobody minds. The locals and tourists give them food sometimes but they don’t beg for it, they are lovely well mannered dogs ❤️
Yes, I will vouch for India and its care for animals in general. Indians revere other species more than most other cultures. In Delhi, where people are very poor, and many live on the streets, you rarely see a thin dog. Europeans are far more horrible to strays than Indians.
Dogs are looked after in Goa, but not in other parts of India.
I haven't been to Goa but I've been to about 8 other cities and the dogs and puppies were all over the place and they seemed pretty healthy and were cautious but friendly. A lot of animals in India are more comfortable around people. I even had a bird fly onto my hand to get food. A peacock walked up to me to check me out, cows would follow me around, dogs would sniff my feet. It was like the jingle book how friendly the animals were.
Not my experience at all. In Kolkata most "stray" dogs actually live on a single block where you will see them being fed by local shop keepers on that block. On my last three visits there(in the 2010s), I have taken pictures of dozens of them throughout India and most of them will come for a friendly petting. So don't know what you're talking about. Of course, it could be better. So one of my cousins has developed a program where people on the block adopt the outdoor dogs to make sure they get feed nutrionally and get their vet appointments.
I was born and lived in India 63 years. Strays are not all that bad...and there are people who love and care for dogs. In my Delhi, there was a dig lady who would come daily in her car with food in packets for street dogs. Dozens of dogs would wait for her...no fights. Now I have 2 dogs and a Tomcat in Philippines...and many strays in our colony. No fights at all.
Before you say thinks about another country u should look at urself first
Ummmm the WORST place for ANY puppy... Dog... kitten or Cat is CHINA!
You might want to actually visit China and rethink your comment.
If it were China they would eat it
They boil it alive, use a torch to burn off the hair yet keep it alive so it's fresh while it is swollen, can't move and crys.
Chinese eat anything and take what is not theirs in the name of "medicinal purposes" pffft
Nonsense! During the great famines of the 1940s and 50s perhaps Chinese people ate dogs to avoid starvation. Have you ever been in that situation? The old fashioned practice is ow much frowned upon and only ignorant comments from Westerners are likely to goad that item back onto the menu. Give credit where credit is due. China is a modern country.
Instead of putting out food for a domestic animal,people of India ...adopt the mother fucker before a monkey has to do it! Heart breaking to even see Get a clue!!!!!!
